GENDER IN MANAGEMENT SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP
Gender on the Agenda in Business Schools - Teaching Gender
Descriptions
Much of the teaching in Business Schools has either been gender blind or has (often implicitly) reflected male practices and interests. Perhaps influenced by post-feminist thinking, gender issues have dropped off the main stream curriculum - with young women in particular, distancing themselves from feminist thinking on the grounds that gender equality has been ‘won’. Yet research still points to a masculine bias in business schools. From a variety of perspectives, this workshop addresses key questions of how to bring gender back onto the teaching agenda.
When
This event will take place on 12th June 2014.
